“If you don't follow the wholesale market then it might be difficult to comprehend some of our decisions - Especially if you're using tools like Estibot to determine value..”
NamePros follows the wholesale market. Like all markets, it is mutable – and I probably DON’T understand it, but I've read a lot about what (some) wholesalers look for in a name. If your decisions aren’t determined by profit and loss speculation, then you are correct - I don’t comprehend them.
As far as Estibot, I thought EVERYONE uses it to some extent as a go-to metric and dismisses it to a large extent. And let's be clear - wholesalers at what level? I was there looking at spending no more than $500 - probably under $400.
In terms of inventory selection, of course, it's not personal - business isn’t supposed to be. But I meant to say personable, not personal when referring to the rejection notices
.
It's a given that a name is turned down because someone has determined it won’t garnish a minimum of $299. That's not a reason
why, which is why I objected to it and thought it problematic. If someone submitted a godawful domain name that you thought would SELL, I imagine it would not be turned away
.
If the site is getting over 100 submissions a day, the slim pickings are by design. Fair enough.. some people seemed to think it wasn't generating submissions. I absolutely welcome a curated market - however lean.
Why should I doubt that you have the experience and knowledge to curate a wholesaler market? Especially if the wholesalers are affiliates and their preferences are known or predictable. Which is what I took umbrage with. Name Drop has multiple platforms to sell on. I hoped DNWE would provide an opportunity for people and companies with less exposure and available resources.
I think there's room for another curated wholesale market that has more names and is open to different domain extensions and more eclectic choices (ie - I saw no AI, 5G, VR - maybe those are too faddist or there aren't enough quality submissions).
I appreciate your responses and wish DNWE great success - I see no reason why it won't be.!
